Chapter 12: The Impossible Escort
The wind whistled in my ears, carrying with it the cold vapor.
Feeling that the slightly thin person in his arms was getting stiffer and stiffer, Zhifeng loosened his arm slightly, and by the way, he took in the light red of An Jinwen's ears.
The peak of Jingyue Mountain enters the clouds, and from a distance, Meizhen is full of people in the depths of the white clouds. When Zhifeng and An Jinwen got off the wolf's back, as no tears said, the plum trees here are forested, and the clouds and mist are full of colorful flowers, which is a fairyland outside the world.
The mountain road is rugged, there are occasionally a few old roots, and the soil and stone are rubbed in one place to be trampled solidly, it has become a natural step, from here to pick up the steps, a plum tree branch that is quite a few years old to explore the wind, the plum petals under the branch fall down, cover half a piece of carved "plum town" two words of the mountain stone.
"It's beautiful." An Jinwen snorted lightly, and unconsciously walked under the plum tree, the mountain wind crossed, and the flowers were blown down An Jinwen's hood, and the three thousand green silks danced with the falling flowers because of the wind.
Zhifeng suddenly remembered a sentence, there are vines and grasses in the wild, clear and graceful.
"Sister, you're here so fast!" With this thin and crisp sound, Eternal Night flapped its wings a few times and landed steadily on the ground, bringing down a small rain of flowers. Xiao's gaze paused on An Jinwen for a moment, and then quietly turned his face away.
On that day, he still remembers this side face. Like Bai Yijue, she always likes to keep the black hood low, and it wasn't until this time that Xiao really saw An Jinwen's appearance in the game.
It is easy to recognize, because that face is exactly the same as in reality, she didn't even adjust the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, not so much that she was confident in her appearance, he believed that this girl was lazy......
"Huh? What about my junior brother? An Jinwen swept around, but did not find the familiar dark figure.
"How come," Tearless looked at An Jinwen, who showed his full face for the first time, pursed his lips, and pointed behind him: "It's right behind, he rode so obviously...... Hey? What about people?! ”
"Here."
A whisper from the side, An Jinwen was taken aback, "I said junior brother, don't you be so silent every time, okay, is it your hobby to be scary?" ”
"No, you didn't pay attention." He took his dark robe and said to Wu Wu, "Where is the task you said?" ”
Speaking of which, Tearless was also very curious about when Bai Yijue got off the mount and stood behind the old plum tree, but it was none of her business, so she didn't come up with a reason. She pouted and pointed ahead, "It's not that tailor's shop!" ”
"Ahh Fairy girl, you're here! ”
The group entered the store, and a thin woman stood up suddenly behind the tall cloth case, and when she saw that there were no tears, she swept away the previous grievances, and her eyes suddenly bloomed with dazzling light.
Xiao smiled and said, "This girl ......"
The tailor turned around, smiled politely, and asked the owl, "Hello, owl, may I ask if the slave family can help you, whether you want to cut new clothes or mend old robes?" ”
"Uh......" An Jinwen looked at each other, she thought for a while, and said to the tailor: "We are together, we just want to ask what to do." ”
"Hello, may I ask if the slave family can help you, do you want to cut new clothes or repair old robes?"
Dizzy! Except for the name, the same rhetoric, not a word is bad. Xiao smiled and shook his head, "No tears, this is a hidden mission, and the reward will definitely be good." ”
Without tears, he asked the tailor, "Tell me, how can we help you?" ”
Only then did the tailor fade his patterned smile and change to a sad expression, and said sadly: "My name is Ah Tong, and I was originally one of the three masters of Xuanmen, the youngest disciple of Shui Yingzhen. It's also the result of my own misfortune......"
Ah Tong's gaze suddenly drifted far away, his eyes gradually dispersed, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was already full of water. She sniffed lightly, a smile on the corner of her lips, "Senior brother, he is very good, every time the sect fights, the three respects always praise him." He has great ambitions and a common heart, and he always says that he wants to go to the outside of Zhengyi Palace to have a look, and break out of the famous and glorious master......"
"I naturally love such a wise and martial brother, but it's a pity that I didn't do much at that time, I only knew how to pester him and grind him, but I never really thought about what he wanted......"
Ah Tong recalled the old things, her face was sad and happy, and several people seemed to be infected by her emotions, and they were silent for a long time.
"So, what about later?" Tearless asked.
"Later...... The real person in charge always said that his Dao heart was undecided, and he didn't let him out of Zhengyi for a long time, and then he secretly went down the mountain by himself. When I was about to leave, I found out, and I stalked him to go down the mountain with him, otherwise I would tell the real person in charge. ”
"My brother had no choice but to agree to take me on the road. It's a pity that my body is weak, and as soon as I come out, I contracted the wind cold, and the high fever does not go away, and my senior brother dragged on for more than a month because of me, and then fortunately-"
"Atong?"
The thatched eaves were low, and the burly figure stood at the door against the light and hesitated, and saw that there were many people in strange clothes gathered in the small tailor's shop, and the people who came seemed to be a little displeased.
"Brother Fu, you're back." Ah Tong took a few steps to take the burden on the person, smiled softly, and said to An Jinwen: "This is Fu Gang, Brother Fu, the benefactor of me and my senior brother." I lingered on the sickbed, but fortunately, Brother Fu was kind enough to take him in, so my brother was relieved to leave. Now that my health is getting better, I rely on Brother Fu to take care of me. ”
"Ah Tong, ...... are you?" Fu Gang looked at them with some confusion and couldn't help asking.
"Brother Fu, now that my body has gradually improved, I want to ......" she lowered her head a little embarrassed, "I want to go to Senior Brother, they are here to help me." ”
"No," Fu Gang replied, "You haven't been able to travel long distances." Besides, it's been so long, I still don't know where your senior brother is, there is a vast sea of people, how to find this! ”
"It's because I haven't heard from my senior brother for a long time that I'm going to look for him!" Ah Tong's face flushed because she was in a hurry, she evened her breath and said to Fu Gang: "Brother Fu, I know you're worried about me, but ...... But I'm also worried about my brother! You see, this tearless girl is a fairy from the sky, and her friends are not mortals, and you can rest assured that they are there. ”
"No! I wouldn't agree! Fu Gang shook his head again and again, his expression calm.
"Brother Fu! I beg you! Do you know that in the three years I have been in Meizhen, although my life has been peaceful and worry-free, I have been thinking about my senior brother all the time, and I know the torment under the calm! Do you know!!! Ah Tong tugged on the sleeve of Fu Gang's robe with one hand and covered his chest with the other, choking out unspeakably.
She coughed several times in excitement, so Fu Gang hurriedly helped her over and patted her back gently. After a long time, Ah Tong's cough gradually stopped, and then he barely straightened up.
"That's it......" Fu Gang sighed, with a look of pain in his eyes, "I'll do it to you." ”
Tears slowly overflowed from the corners of Ah Tong's eyes, he knelt down on his knees and made a big salute to Fu Gang, and smiled softly, "Brother Fu has treated Ah Tong in the past three years, Ah Tong knows in his heart. It's just that there is nothing to repay in this life, please accept Atong's three bows to show your life-saving grace. ”
Suddenly, Fu Gang's expression suddenly became ugly. He turned sideways slightly to avoid Ah Tong's three salutes, "No need, you don't owe me anything, if you want to go, go quickly." ”
Out of the tailor shop, because Ah Tong was following, several people could not summon their mounts opportunistically, so they had to throw off their legs and go down the rugged mountain road.
It was sunset, and the sunset was gradually declining like blood. The clear stream between the mountain walls is at the bottom, and the Meilin on both sides of the road is still the same, but the group has lost the ease when they first arrived in Meizhen.
Looking at the weak but firm Atong in front of him, An Jinwen only sighed at the mistakes in the world, the unsatisfactory ones are the best of ten, the love is deep and shallow, but what can I do.
But Xiao calculated in his heart, Ah Tong's senior brother's whereabouts are unknown, the map of "Cangyu" is known as boundless, not to mention the Three Realms, just the breadth of the human world has made it impossible to find his traces, not to mention that in addition to the story told by Ah Tong, this senior brother has no clues at all.
"Ah Tong ......" As soon as Xiao opened his mouth, he suddenly remembered that this NPC didn't care about anyone except for no tears, so he had to turn to ask no tears and said: "No tears, I remember that she said that she was a disciple of Shui Ying Zhenren, you ask her what her senior brother's name is, I am also a person from Zhengyi Xuanmen, maybe I can go back to the sect and ask for clues, otherwise it will be too difficult to find her senior brother until this task is to find her senior brother." ”
Tearless nodded, turned around and called Ah Tong and said, "Hey! What's your brother's name? ”
Ah Tong's cheeks flushed, and he whispered, "He has a very nice name...... Called Shangguan Yushu. ”
"Shangguan Yushu...... Yushu ......" Xiao was suddenly stunned, and said hurriedly: "You ask him again, but that Shangguan Yushu who is proficient in the Xuanmen heavy sword?!" ”
After asking without tears, Ah Tong hesitated for a long time but still nodded, probably wondering how the flying sky without tears knew.
Seeing this, Xiao couldn't help but hold his forehead and said, "No tears!" You can't complete this task! ”
"What? Why! Tearless exclaimed, puzzled, "I guess Ah Tong should give a hint of the next step when he arrives at the bottom of the mountain!" ”
"No, no, no, when I learned the Xuanmen swordsmanship from the head of the sect, I heard the Taoist boy who served him say to himself, it would be good if Senior Brother Yushu was there......"
He looked at Ah Tong, who was close at hand, but couldn't hear him speak, and his tone was harsh, "Because Shangguan Yushu died three years ago, when he first came out of Zhengyi!" ”
